E whakatewhatewha ana a Maia Te Kahurangi i te ahuwhenua whakaora me tana mahi ki te haumaru kai o te ao. E whai ana ia i nga kaupapa here huarere.
maia.tekahurangi@agritechreview.comTe whakarāpopototanga rangahau matatau: Me pēhea te ahumāra tika, te hangarau koiora, te whakamākū atamai, te aunoa, te pāmu poutū, me te mātauranga horihori e whakapiki ai i te hua o te ahumāra me te whaihua o te whakamahi whenua, me te tātari i ngā wero o te whakatairanga me ngā ahunga e heke mai nei.
Ko te matapae huarere hou e whakaatu ana kei te whakatipu mai tētahi take El Niño ka taea te whawhati i te rekoata, e whakaoho ana i te awangawanga mō te hua o ngā kai, te utu o ngā kai, me te rere o te hokohoko o te ao.
He tātaritanga mō te āhuatanga o te ahuwhenua rauropi i te koraha o Thar i Pakitāne, e whakahaeretia ana e ngā mātauranga tuku iho me ngā mahi hou pērā i te whakamakuku hiko-ā-rā, e waihanga ana i tētahi tauira ahuwhenua whakamana mō ngā rohe mākūkū.
Kei te whakakotahi hohonu te pūkaha mātauranga, ngā drone, me te hangarau ahuwhenua tika, e akiaki ana i te ahuwhenua o te ao ki te tau o te whakaputa mātauranga e whakahaeretia e te raraunga. Ko tēnei tuhinga e tātari ana i tēnei ia e whakahou ana i te tiaki tipu, te whakahaere pāmu, me te pūnaha kai o te ao, mai i te tirohanga o te auahatanga hangarau, te pānga ahumahi, me te whanaketanga tauwhiro.
Kei te whakapuakina e te Peeke Matua o Awherika ki te Tonga te whakapaunga o te $3.45 piriona (tata ki te $1.9 piriona) ki te pūtea āhuarangi motuhake, hei tautoko i ngā kaipānu ki te whakamahi i ngā hangarau ahuwhenua e whai whakaaro ana ki te āhuarangi. Mā tēnei pūtea e hoatu ai ngā pūtea iti me te āwhina hangarau, hei āwhina i ngā kaipānu ki te whakangao ki te whakamakū tika, ki ngā mahi whakaora whenua, me ngā papaaho raraunga ahuwhenua, hei whakautu i te raru e kaha haere nei o te tauraki me ngā rangi tino kino.
Ko te pūrongo hou a te FAO e whakaatu ana, ko te hua o te pata i Moroko i te tau 2026 ka hoki ake ki te 6.3 miriona tana, engari ko te tono kawemai e 11.4 miriona tana tonu, ko te rerekētanga o te utu kawe moana e whakapiki ana i te pēhanga o te haumaru kai. Ko te tuhinga e tātari ana i te mahi a te hangarau ahuwhenua ki te whakapiki i te reanga whakawhirinaki ki a ia anō me te kaha o te mekameka whakarato.
E ai ki te ripoata a Allied Market Research, ko te rahi o te maakete ahuwhenua tika i te ao e tika ana kia eke ki te $23.1 piriona i te tau 2030, me te tere tipu tipu 13.4%. Ko te whakamahinga o te Ipurangi o nga mea, te mohio horihori me te hangarau wetewete raraunga e whakatairanga ana i te whakaputanga ahuwhenua me te pumau.
He rangahau hou e tirotiro ana i te riri o te rangi me te aukatinga o te tauhokohoko ki ngā kai matua, ā, i tuhia he mahere huarahi hei whakapakari i te haumaru kai mā ngā kaupapa here me te hangarau.
Ka tū te hui o te tau 2025 mō te ahuwhenua toitū i te marama o Whiringa-ā-rangi, arā, ko Field to Market me te American Dairy Innovation Centre e ārahi ana, me te National Pork Board, te United States Poultry & Egg Association, me ētahi atu whakahaere, e whakakaha tahi ana i ngā mahi toitū o te mekameka whakarato ahuwhenua. Ka tātaki tēnei tuhinga i te huarahi e whakawhiti ai te hui i te mahi tahi ki te whakatere i te ahuwhenua whakaora, te whakaheke waro, me te whakamahi hangarau tōtika, me ōna pānga roa ki te haumaru kai o te ao me te hangarau kai.
I raro i te horopaki o ngā taupatupatu tauhokohoko o te ao, te pēhitanga ā-huarere me ngā take haumaru kai e tuitui ana, kei te tautuhia anō te ahuwhenua ā-rohe. Ka tātari tēnei tuhinga, mai i te tirohanga o te hangarau ahuwhenua me te mekameka tuku o te ao, i te pēhea o ēnei kaha o waho e pā ai ki te whakahaere pāmu, te tango hangarau me te hanganga ahumahi mō te wā roa.
I raro i te horopaki o ngā tāke kawemai, te tōrangapū ā-rohe, me te whakatere o ngā whakatakotoranga ā-rohe, kei te huri te mekameka tuku o te hangarau ahuwhenua me te ahumahi kai mai i tētahi whatunga ao kotahi ki tētahi pūnaha maha-pū kei te kaha ake te tūāwari, ā, mā tēnei panonitanga e whakahou anō ngā hokohoko hua ahuwhenua, te kawe mātao, ngā utu kai, me te ahunga o ngā haumitanga ahuwhenua.
